pages in a certain place. Do not open and look at them yet. When that Prophet arrives, you will follow him, if Allah wills.'

Sayyidunā KaꜤb al-Aḥbār رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  mentions: 'I took out those two pages and looked, and it was written on them: مُحَمَّدُ رَّسُوْلُ اللہِ خَاتَمُ النَّبِیّٖن لَا نَبِیَّ بَعْدَہٗ مَوْلِدُہٗ بِمَکَّۃَ وَ مُہَاجَرُہٗ بِطَیْبَۃَ (Muhammadصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  is the Messenger of Allah, the Final Prophet. There will be no Prophet after him. His birth will be in Makkah, and he will migrate towards Ṭaybah).'"^[1]

The father of Sayyidunā SaꜤīd b. Zayd رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, Sayyiduna Zayd b. ꜤAmr  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, was a true follower of the religion of Ibrāhīm and a traveller on the straight path during the era of ignorance. He passed away before the arrival of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He used to say: "I travelled from city to city in search of the religion of Ibrāhīm. I asked the Jews, Christians, and others, and everyone would give me the description and attributes of the Final Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  and say that there was no other Prophet after him."^[2]

Sayyidunā Mughīrah b. ShuꜤbah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, while narrating an incident from before he embraced Islam, states: "Once, we heard the praise of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  from the king of Egypt, Maqūqash. Then, I went to Alexandria, where I did not leave a single place of worship of the previous nations. I went to all of them and asked them about Muhammad al-Muṣṭafāʾ صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Finally, I reached a priest who was a great scholar of his people. I asked him: 'Is any Prophet yet to come into the world?' He said:نَعَم! وَہُوَ آخِرُ الْاَنْبِیَاء  (Yes! He is the last of the Prophets. No Prophet has come between him and Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم). ꜤĪsā        عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم ordered his disciples to follow him.
